Boy Underground is a powerful adventure story about Hugo, an autistic boy who decides to go all the way into the Paris underground to find a place where he belongs.

For Hugo, the world can be too loud and bright. He likes the quiet. He likes the dark. And he loves maps.

When Hugo learns that there’s a whole other world under Paris, a network of tunnels, quarries and catacombs mapped beneath his feet, he sets off on an adventure.

Navigating secret passages, narrowly escaping robbers and returning to old friends, Hugo discovers more than just buried treasure …

About the Series:

A modern-day The Goonies set throughout Europe, from the catacombs Paris to the Mediterranean Sea. For readers of The Adventurers by Gemma Hatt and The London Eye Mystery by Siobhan Dowd. Ages 9+.

A heartfelt trilogy about Hugo, an autistic boy who loves maps, and his best friends Alex and Julie. Whether it’s navigating secret passages while escaping masked robbers or searching for sunken treasure while thwarting illegal mussel miners, where Hugo leads, adventure follows.
